Q. I am getting a kindle ereader and I also have kindle for android on my phone. If I buy a book on the kindle, can I also view/read it on my phone as long as I use the same account?
A. yes, amazon.com offers the "kindle" app for almost every device. You can b uy a book on your kindle and read it on your PC or on your blackberry.I love answering kindle questions, it's by far one of my favorite devices that i keep in my bag.
For starters and most importantly I own the Kindle 2 (soon to be upgrading to the Kindle DX), and it is easy for me to say I love it! I think I've read over 20 books so far.
There are other reviews on the Kindle 2 here:

I love my Kindle because it has helped me improve a lot on my efficiency and utilize my time. Before I owned the Kindle, waiting time like when I'm waiting for friends or waiting for shuttle bus or some thing like that is simply wasted. Now I just need to bring the Kindle 2 along with me. Another thing I like the most is the text-to-speech function, which means I can "read" books without even holding or looking at the Kindle. Now I like to use this function when I've myself busy on some boring things, say when I'm on the step machine or doing some housework...
I like reading and at the beginning I missed a bit on the feeling of reading books. But now I love to hold the Kindle, the e-ink seems to work very well, it is really like reading books... Now I often read with the Kindle for several hours but I don't feel tired.
I linked your directly to the Kindle Store on amazon.com! I really do hope you consider getting your own =)

How to fix the page numbers on my Kindle Fire?
Q. My dad recently gave me his Kindle Fire because he bought himself a new tablet. Every time I buy a new book from amazon the page numbers are wrong. He doesn't recall if the page numbers have always been messed up. We bought it not even a year ago.
For example, a book that is 400 pages shows to be anywhere from 3000 to 64000 pages in the location bar. The book isn't really that long so page one is always a high number. The percentage works on the location bar. This is really annoying. How can I fix the page numbers?
A. Unfortunately, the 1st generation Kindle Fire doesn't support page number right now... It only has location.
You can see this is improved on 2nd generation Kindle Fire. It has page number:

Let's hope amazon will upgrade the 1st generation Kindle Fire software later.
What alternatives are there for the Amazon Kindle?
Q. I like the Amazon kindle, but I heard Sony has them, too. Could someone help me find the best and affordable one?
If better ones come out later, what makes them better than the ones now?
A. The main competitor for the Amazon Kindle is the Sony Reader. In my opinion, the Kindle is the better option. Since Amazon is in the business of books, there are MANY more titles available through Amazon than through Sony, and the Kindle also has wireless. There are a few other readers out there, but they are much more expensive, and the advantages you might get out of them (slightly larger screen)aren't worth the added cost. The current Sony reader is second generation, while the Kindle is first generation, so there might be fewer bugs to be worked out than with the Kindle, but it doesn't seem that the Kindle has that many bugs to begin with!
Amazon hasn't said when a second generation Kindle will be coming out, so it will be a while. The current Kindle is an excellent book reader, and I think any future versions will only differ than this one in the bells and whistles. To be honest, I don't want or need my books to have bells and whistles, so I don't think it would be worth the wait, or worth upgrading to a second generation Kindle.
